Cytokine Profile in Striated Muscle Laminopathies: New Promising Biomarkers for Disease Prediction

open access: yesCells, 2020
Laminopathies are a wide and heterogeneous group of rare human diseases caused by mutations of the LMNA gene or related nuclear envelope genes. The variety of clinical phenotypes and the wide spectrum of histopathological changes among patients carrying ...

Nuclear lamin phosphorylation: an emerging role in gene regulation and pathogenesis of laminopathies

open access: yesNucleus, 2020
Decades of studies have established that nuclear lamin polymers form the nuclear lamina, a protein meshwork that supports the nuclear envelope structure and tethers heterochromatin to the nuclear periphery.

Profibrotic Molecules Are Reduced in CRISPR-Edited Emery–Dreifuss Muscular Dystrophy Fibroblasts [PDF]

open access: yesCells
Emery–Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (EDMD) is caused by mutations in EMD, LMNA, SYNE1, SYNE2, and other related genes. The disease is characterized by joint contractures, muscle weakening and wasting, and heart conduction defects associated with dilated ...

Genomic analysis of a novel pathogenic variant in the gene LMNA associated with cardiac laminopathies found in Ecuadorian siblings: A case report

open access: yesFrontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023
IntroductionCardiac laminopathies are caused by mutations in the LMNA gene and include a wide range of clinical manifestations involving electrical and mechanical changes in cardiomyocytes.

Laminopathies and Atherosclerosis [PDF]

open access: yesArteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology, 2004
Laminopathies are genetic diseases that encompass a wide spectrum of phenotypes with diverse tissue pathologies and result mainly from mutations in the LMNA gene encoding nuclear lamin A/C. Some laminopathies affect the cardiovascular system, and a few (namely, Dunnigan-type familial partial lipodystrophy [FPLD2 ...

Need for NAD+: Focus on Striated Muscle Laminopathies

open access: yesCells, 2020
Laminopathies are a heterogeneous group of rare diseases caused by genetic mutations in the LMNA gene, encoding A-type lamins. A-type lamins are nuclear envelope proteins which associate with B-type lamins to form the nuclear lamina, a meshwork ...

Generation of two iPSC lines (FAMRCi006-A and FAMRCi006-B) from patient with dilated cardiomyopathy and Emery–Dreifuss muscular dystrophy associated with genetic variant LMNAp.Arg527Pro.

open access: yesStem Cell Research, 2020
Mutations in LMNA gene are known to cause a broad range of diseases called laminopathies. We have generated two induced pluripotent stem cell lines FAMRCi006-A and FAMRCi006-B from a patient carrying LMNA p.

Caenorhabditis elegans models for striated muscle disorders caused by missense variants of human LMNA.

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2023
Striated muscle laminopathies caused by missense mutations in the nuclear lamin gene LMNA are characterized by cardiac dysfunction and often skeletal muscle defects.

Characterization of cardiac involvement in children with LMNA-related muscular dystrophy

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023
Introduction: LMNA-related muscular dystrophy is a rare entity that produce “laminopathies” such as Emery–Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (EDMD), limb–girdle muscular dystrophy type 1B (LGMD1B), and LMNA-related congenital muscular dystrophy (L-CMD).
